    I remember back in the day (road hockey games at the beer store parking lot) Joan would always make sure we were warm and our parents knew where we were, and more recently as our neighbour.
    Although I have not seen Joan in a few years, we will always remember her as a wonderful person with a smile and a warm heart.
    Please seek solace with the memories, and our thoughts are with the Taylor family at this difficult time.
